Different authors explain relationships of remedies in different ways. Important

points mentioned by them can be studied as follows.


1. Dr.Hahnemann: 1. Antidote – In the aphorism 249 he suggests “If the aggravation be
considerable (after a medicine) be first partially neutralized as soon as possible by an antidote
before giving the next remedy chosen more accurately according to similarity of action” 2.


2.Dr.E.A.Farrington
1 Family relation – From the similarity in their origin
2 Concordant – Similar drugs with dissimilar origin
3 Complement – The drug that completes the cure which the other begins, but unable to
effect
4 Antidote – The medicine which modify the effects of a wrongly selected potency or an
apt potency
5 Inimical – They also will be similar, but the resemblance will be so great, in fact the
drugs are so nearly “idem” that it is not well to follow one with the other.


3. Dr.Clarke
1 Complementary remedies
2 Remedies that follows well (after)
3 Remedies followed well by
4 Compatible remedies
5 Incompatible remedies
6 Remedy antidotes
7 Remedy is antidoted by


4. Dr.Boenninghausen
1 Remedies related to mind and localities
2 Other remedies (Represents a general relationship of the remedies in the unclassified
symptom groups, to the remedy under consideration)
3 Antidotes
4 Injurious


5. Dr.Boger
1 Remedies related to mind and localities
2 Related remedies
3 Antidote
4 Inimical – Two very similar remedies do not follow each other well


6. Dr.J.T.Kent
1 Chronic remedy – In managing a chronic sickness the remedy that conforms with an
acute experience of the illness is worth knowing, as very often its chronic may be just
the one that conforms to its symptoms. (e.g.: 1. Calcarea is the natural chronic of
Belladonna and Rhus tox, 2. Natrum mur is the chronic of Apis & Ignatia)
2 Complementary – Medicine that completes the action of the first one when it is no
longer acting.
3 Inimical – They do not like to work after each other (e.g.: Causticum & Phos, Apis &
Rhus tox)
4 Antidote – when there appears new symptoms, the new symptoms combining with the
old ones must be again studied and the second remedy must correspond more
particularly to the new than to the old.

QTES OF EMINENT HOMOEOPATHS AND CORRESPONDING MEDICINES

QUOTATION MEDICINE

1. “Acts most beneficially when patient suffers from 1. Phosphorus

chronic loose stool or diarrhea” (Hahnemann)

www.homeobook.com Page 32
!

 2. “This medicine requires something like 9 days before 2. Psorinum

it manifests its action, and even a single dose may elicit
other symptoms lasting for weeks” (Aegedi)

3. “Whether derived from purest gold or purest filth, our 3. Psorinum

gratitude for its excellent service forbids us to inquire or
care” (P.B.Bell)

4. “Medicines which have their special applicability to 4. Bry, All sat, Lyco, Nux vom,
meat eaters rather than to exclusive Colo, Digit.
vegetarians” (Teste)

5. “It actually seems to fatten up tuberculous 5. Hydrastis

patients” (Burnett)

6. “This medicine needs more frequent repetition in 6. Tuberculinum

children’s complaints than nearly every other chronic
remedy” (H. Fergie Woods)

7. “To call a carbuncle a surgical disease is the greatest 7. Anthracinum

absurdity. An incision is always injurious and often fatal.
A case has never been lost under the right kind of
treatment, and it should always be treated by internal
medicine only” (Hering)

8. “Tincture, given in 5 – 7 drop doses at bedtime, 8. Thuja

control nocturnal seminal emissions better than any
other remedy” (C.W.Roberts)

9. “One part, with three parts of alcohol, 10 – 15 drops, 9. Sulphuric acid

three times daily for 3 or 4 weeks, has been successfully
used to subdue the craving for liquor” (Hering)

10. “Should not be given in lying in period except in high 10. Iodum

when the moon is waning” (Lippe)

12. “Wine drinkers should take coffee and beer drinkers 12. Kali bich
should take tea, coffee antidotes wine and tea antidotes
beer, so this medicine corresponds to beer, tea will be
likely to agree with it better than coffee” (Hering)

light hair, blue or gray eyes, florid complexion, fat or

give this medicine” (Yingling)

15. “One single dose of the 30th potency is sufficient to 15. Drosera

prevent the good effect of the former, but would be
injurious” (Hahnemann)

16. “This medicine has cured bad cases of general 16. Blatta orientalis
dropsy, after Apis, Apoc and Dig failed” (Haynes)

17. “This medicine like Baptisia has ability to swallow 17. Silicea
